Month: August 2019

I wasn’t sure if to put this screenshot of our pregnancy app up as I know it’s not going to interest people, but like Kim said, it’s my page and the whole point is to share how I’m feeling to help me with past trauma and anxiety so 🤷🏻‍♂️ sorry if it doesn’t interest you. Im not here for followers or likes, just a place I can put down how I’m feeling.

I feel like I’m not helping at all in this pregnancy. I can’t do a thing about the morning sickness she suffers. The sleepless nights when she has a slight bleed and worries, the constant need to pee which makes her not want to go for long walks or anything right now. Today I’m back to feeling like I’m stupid and always unable to help, and I hate feeling that way.
Kim hits the 9 weeks pregnant mark on Saturday and we have our first antenatal appointment tomorrow as they want to monitor her closely due to many problems already. I have so many questions to ask already, they will probably think I’m over reacting but I’m just concerned. And then I think, should I ask so many questions so soon? Uh 🤦🏻‍♂️ It only feels like yesterday we were both scared to look at the pregnancy test in case it was negative, and then both crying all day when we saw the pink line appear. ❤️Just please please stay with us little one. You have no idea how much you are loved and wanted already by everyone.

After feeling utterly miserable today I’ve booked a private scan for next Thursday, A scan for Endometrial Thickness. //
Hopefully I might get some answers with regards to my 1 day periods since miscarriage and if it is down to my lining causing the lightness.
//
Hopefully it’ll ease my mind moving forward and if my body needs a helping hand to get back to normal cycles then so be it.. but I just need some clarity.
//
I also think I’m going to be Pro active and delete my Ovia app and go back to good old fashioned baby dancing every 2-3 days! These apps are controlling my life, I seem to be needing to input data to see what it tells me and where I am in my cycle and what should be expected.. I’m clearly putting to much pressure on myself and my body… and after today I’ve shed to many tears on something that should be so exciting!… // #deletetheapps #pregnancy #earlypregnancy #earlypregnancyloss #earlypregnancylossawareness #miscarriage #missedmiscarriage #earlymiscarriage #pain #heartache #heartbreak #silentmiscarriage #miscarriagesucks #tryingtoconceive #babydance #movingforward #opk #test #pregnancytest #ovulationtracking #peakovulation #babydance #letsgetpregnant #babydust #twoweekwait #conception #pregnancysymptoms #pmssymptoms #stickbabystick

Almost there!
So I am about 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I know I have a pretty noticible baby bump. I recently had a translusency ultrasound and everything seems good. My baby has nice big cheeks and seems to look big. Not huge just To me baby looked big. I won’t be able to find out what baby is until the 14-16th week. Im glad that the 1st trimester is almost over and that I am slowly creeping into the next. Last weekend before I fell down the stairs. I went out for baptisims with the whole gang. I hadn’t been out like that for a long time. Considering our families are out every weekend. So we went of to a beach (lake in Canada). It stormed that day then becaming this hott, sunny place and we ate burgars. It was great. We went to the water swam a bit and then headed back to relax in some chairs. It was such a beautiful place. For the first time in a long time I had energy to be present with people. Somewhere in the early evening my Nap time started creeping in and I began doozing off but it was over come when I was fed a yummy burger. So its true as we inch towards the 2nd trimester the groggy, sleepy feeling begins to ween off. Im able to stay awake longer and do whatever I need to do. Baby still kicks my butt for sleep time but baby needs it. However its more like a rythmic dance then a buldoozing of skeep sand. Let me know how your early pregnancy went.

“Tayo ito na nagbabago
Tayo ito na natututo
Tayo ito na binubuo ang pagkatao”

One of the ways to reap the Philippines’ demograhic dividend – the economic growth potential that results from the shift in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the working-age population is larger than the non-working-age share of the population – is to invest and empower young people to make informed choices. Thus, let’s make sure that the next generation is equipped with the right tools and avenue for the future.

Thank you to the Department of Education, Department of Health, in cooperation with, the Commission on Population and Development and other government agencies and non-government organizations for giving a platform to share, understand, and create interventions about early pregnancy in the country. Let’s leave no Filipino behind!

Thank you Ate Geri Amarnani for the 📸! #TeenagePregnancy #EarlyPregnancy #Youth #YoungPeople #SDG #LeaveNoOneBehind #advocacy #Philippines

[& then there were FOUR] We have gone back and forth on this for a week now.

Traditionally people don’t announce the exciting news until the 12 week mark, fourth time around, we aren’t holding back on the excitement we’re feeling.

Every single baby should be celebrated 👧🏻👶🏻 In saying that, Billy, the boys and I are so delighted to share with everyone – Baby Fox number 4 is on the way.

Life has a funny way of working out, after every storm ⛈ comes a rainbow 🌈
Due April 2020 ♥️

Food for the Pregnant
There are a couple of lists stating what food can be beneficial or harmful during pregnancy. Fish is a big No No! However some fish maybe ok or even beneficial to have. In my case well cooked Salmon once a month is not bad. Some lists include women to have fish, specifically white fish. It may seem counter to buy fish since we tend to be unsure of what we will really enjoy because our new sense of smell can turn us off. Yet, it is good to give it a try. So to have a healthier, random option during pregnancy. Usual well cooked fish (white fish) can be added on in the 2nd trimester. Along with well cooked veg such as mushroom & well washed at home prepared salads. Some 1st trimester women can have veg, salads if they can keep it down. Other big No No’s are deli meats, hotdogs, sushi, mustard, honey,sodas,coffee, teas, candies(too many), too many eggs, certain fruit, organic anything (not sure why), unprocessed (organic) cheese and list goes on. So as for fish don’t fret. You maybe able to have it if your Dr gives the ok. Remember to eat your folic acid everyday and take your recommended prenatles. –
